JACK Harrison was given his first taste of international football at the weekend and is now hungry for more after helping England Under-21s to a 3-1 victory over Scotland.

The former Turton High School pupil, who moved to Bolton with his family as a toddler but left for America, aged 14, to pursue a football scholarship, replaced goalscorer Tammy Abraham two minutes from time for his U21s debut.

Harrison had been handed a surprise call-up by manager Aidy Boothroyd after impressing for New York City FC in Major League Soccer.

He tweeted after the game: "Proud to have made my debut for the #YoungLions tonight. Thank you @england for giving me this opportunity, it was an honour! Most importantly, great result for us, now on to Andorra."

England moved top of Group Four in Euro 2019 qualifying after Friday night's win at Middlebrough's Riverside Stadium and continue their campaign in Andorra tomorrow night.

Midfielder Josh Onomah believes the Young Lions are capable of something special at the Euros after scoring a stunning half volley in the victory over Scotland, with the other goals coming from Abraham and Dominic Solanke.

Five of the starting line up won the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea in the summer while another five were on the bench at the Riverside Stadium.

And Tottenham midfielder Onomah, who is on loan at Aston Villa this season, is confident Boothroyd's squad can triumph in Italy and San Mario in 2019 - with many having been involved in a run to the Euro 2017 semi-finals in June.

He said: "We can go further (than past Under-21 teams). There are a huge lot of players who are playing well for their clubs and country.

"I won the Euros at Under-17s level and the World Cup at Under-20s. With that experience I feel we can push on for the Under-21s in two years.

"I have been with these boys since Under-16s. I feel like we have grown and learned from each other.

"We are getting better all the time and the next goal is to win Euros.

"We are capable of doing that. I've always felt the talent is here from when we were all 16-years-old. At Under-16s from the very first moment it was hard to get in the first XI because of the talent in our age group.

"We are learning from each other, we're from different backgrounds and different clubs. It is all good and healthy competition. We are all moving up a notch."
